Cupping

Cupping is a technique that has been used for centuries and throughout many cultures. Often used for improving the energy (Qi) flow throughout the body in Traditional Chinese Medicine. They can also be used to massage and pull muscles or connective tissue away from underlying structures.

The cups can be left static or moved along different parts of the body. The benefits of cupping include promoting blood circulation, muscle relaxation and calming the nervous system.

Bruising or a rash like appearance is often left at the end. This is nothing to be worried about it is a common occurence which indicates stagnate blood has come to the surface of the skin and the body can then replace it and take away the unwanted waste. Usually the longer your muscles have been tight or painful the more bruising that appears.
